"Your Excellencies, please cast the mask." The Samsara Temple man placed the blue mask in front of the three men on the stone platform and bowed.

The three men stopped working on the jade tablets and looked up at the blue mask. They formed a seal and pointed at it.

A ray of gray light, silver light, and white light shot out from their fingertips and entered the blue mask.

Countless silver runes danced in the silver light. The surrounding space twisted with the movements of the silver runes.

Although the gray light was also flickering, there was no aura spreading out, as if the gray light was nothing.

The white light fluctuated unceasingly, changing into all kinds of strange and dazzling forms.

The tall man from the Samsara Temple was extremely respectful. He lowered his head, not daring to watch the three men cast their spells.

These three Excellencies were highly respected in the Samsara Temple. They were the ones who refined the Samsara Temple masks. The masks possessed the three supernatural powers of teleportation, concealment, and transformation.

The blue mask floated up and floated in midair. Silver, gray, and white spirit patterns appeared on the mask and slowly spread out.

After a while, the three-colored spiritual tattoos covered the entire mask.

The three men stopped casting their spells at the same time. With a whoosh, the blue mask shot up into the sky and flew rapidly in the hall. It made a crisp, vibrating sound like a blue spirit bird.

The Samsara Temple man waved his hand and a ray of white light wrapped around the mask.

The three-colored spiritual tattoos on the blue mask quickly faded and disappeared. However, the mask looked brand new and emitted a layer of spiritual light.

"Thank you for your help!" The Samsara Temple man bowed respectfully to the three men, put the mask away, and walked out.

The three men continued working on the jade tablets, racing against time.

Before long, the door of the side hall was pushed open again. Another man from the Samsara Temple walked in, holding a green mask. He asked the three men to cast their spells.

The three men cast their spells again and carved spiritual tattoos on the masks.

The green mask took longer to carve spiritual tattoos than the blue mask.

After carving the green mask, a red mask was quickly sent over.

The three men did not have much time to rest. They cast their spells one after another and carved hundreds of masks in a row. Only then did they have some free time.

The words on the jade tablet stopped appearing, and the three of them stopped for the time being.

The grey-robed middle-aged man and the white-robed woman both had a trace of exhaustion on their faces. Only the purple-robed old man was calm and composed.

"Fellow Daoist Shi's cultivation is becoming more and more profound. Looks like it won't be long before you'll be able to attain the peak of the intermediate-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, and you might even be able to advance to the advanced-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm in the future." The grey clothed middle aged man looked at the violet robed old man and spoke in a slightly respectful manner.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Lu's Law of Concealment is becoming more and more profound. The concealment effects of the masks you've been making these days are getting better and better.

As for advancing to the advanced-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, would I dare to have such wishful thinking? "The violet robed old man smiled faintly as he spoke.

The grey-robed middle-aged man shook his head and said, "My Law of Concealment is only a minor law. How can it compare to Daoist Shi's Law of Space? Even Daoist Bai's Law of Transformation is inferior to it."

"Humph!

The Hall Master is currently fighting with the Heavenly Court and has left the rear of the Samsara Temple to us to handle. There are many things to do and no mistakes can be made. If the two of you really want to work for him, then focus on your tasks. Don't be distracted by these meaningless words. "The white-robed woman snorted coldly. She was rather disdainful of the conversation between the two men.

The grey-robed middle-aged man smiled awkwardly when he heard that.

However, the violet robed old man frowned as if he was slightly dissatisfied with the white-robed woman's words.

"Bai Yu, although Daoist Shi is working for the Samsara Temple, he is not one of us after all. Don't be rude." A green-robed figure walked out from the depths of the side hall. It was a white-haired Youth.

This person was extremely handsome, but his expression was filled with sadness as if he had experienced endless sorrow.

"Region Lord Huangfu!" The grey-robed middle-aged man hurriedly stood up and bowed when he saw the white-haired Youth.

"Yes, I know my mistake."

The white-robed woman's expression changed as well. She stood up and bowed to the violet robed old man. Then, she curtsied and apologized.

"Daoist Shi, please forgive me for my slip of the tongue."

The violet robed old man also stood up and waved his hand at the white-robed woman. Then, he bowed slightly to the white-haired Youth.

The white-haired Youth was the Region Lord of the Samsara Temple's Jinnan Region, Dao Ancestor Huangfu Yu, who had appeared in the Dust World.

"There's no need for the three of you to be so courteous. All these years, you have been refining the Samsara Temple's masks and handling various affairs of the Samsara Temple. It's been hard on you." Huangfu Yu said with a smile.

"We are willing to guard this place. It's not hard on us.

Region Lord Huangfu, how is the war between the Samsara Temple and the Heavenly Court? "The grey-robed middle-aged man smiled.

"The situation is not clear yet. However, as long as we work together, it won't be difficult for the Temple Lord to defeat the Heavenly Court." Huangfu Yu said.

"That's right." The three of them said in unison.

Huangfu Yu nodded in satisfaction and looked at the violet robed old man.

"Sect Fellow Shi, I hope you can help us with the trade between the Samsara Temple and the Vast Origin House. After all, the Vast Origin House is slightly better than the Samsara Temple when it comes to trading.

As for the cost, we will compensate you after the war is over. "Huangfu Yu said.

"It's my duty. I will do my best." The violet robed old man nodded.

"Good. I'm relieved to hear that, Sect Fellow Shi." Huangfu Yu's face lit up with joy.

After a few more words, he turned and left the side hall.

A moment later, Huangfu Yu's figure appeared at the top of the giant mountain. He looked up into the sky, as if he was looking at something.

… …

At the Bodhi Banquet.

After a round of singing and dancing, everyone began to feel excited. One of the main purposes of their trip was about to be realized.

"After three rounds of wine, seven portions of the reward will be distributed. I'm sure all of you can't wait.

This year's Bodhi Banquet will follow the old tradition. There will still be Bodhi Fruits for everyone.

However, this time, it's a little different … "

Dao Ancestor Baiyun didn't finish his words. The crowd couldn't help but wonder what kind of conditions were needed to exchange for the Bodhi Fruits this year.

Whispers could be heard from every corner of the venue.

"Everyone, please calm down.

The Supreme Master's Taoism has reached perfection. He has vowed to bring all living beings to Nirvana and save them.

The purpose of the Bodhi Banquet is to bring all living beings to Nirvana. This is the supreme realm of the Supreme Master.

Therefore, this banquet has decided to distribute the Fruit of Dao. All participants, whether guests or followers, will be given a Fruit of Dao to help them enter Nirvana as soon as possible. "Dao Ancestor Baiyun said slowly.

The crowd first breathed a sigh of relief. Then they were overjoyed and shouted:

"Thank you, the Supreme Master …"

"Thank you, the Supreme Master!"

Gu Huojin looked at the crowd with a smile and nodded slightly.

The Samsara Temple Master narrowed his eyes as he watched the scene. His lips curled into a faint smile, but he remained silent.

A moment later, eight giant birds appeared in the sky, each holding an Eight Treasures Square Box in their beaks. They flapped their wings and flew in different directions like arrows.

These eight boxes contained the Bodhi Dao Fruits that had been distributed to the other venues.

After the Fruits of the Way were sent away, palace maids began to send the Bodhi Dao Fruits one by one to each participant, including the Samsara Temple Master.

He picked up the Bodhi Fruit on the table in front of him and looked at it. It was a bright red fruit shaped like a plum, which was very different from what he had imagined it to be.

The bright red color of the fruit was not like red silk. Instead, it shone brightly, like a pocket-sized red lantern. It gave off an intoxicating fragrance.

The Samsara Temple Master glanced at the Bodhi Fruit in front of Gu Huojin and the others and found that it was exactly the same as the one in his hand. It should be of the highest grade.

The Tao Ancestors and Zenith Heaven Cultivators in the first row were still able to control themselves. They only examined the Fruit of Dao for a moment, but didn't rush to check it.

The rest of the people behind them were overjoyed and couldn't control themselves.

They held the Fruit of Dao in their hands as if they were holding their own hearts. Not only were they careful, but their eyes were almost glued to it.

However, the Supreme Master hadn't said anything, so no one dared to eat the Fruit of Dao without permission.

"Everyone, don't hold back. Since the Bodhi Fruit of Dao has been distributed, it's time for you to enjoy it," Gu Huojin said loudly with a gentle smile.

Then, he took the Fruit of Dao in his hand and put it into his mouth. When he bit down, the light scattered.

Seeing this, everyone held the Fruit of Dao in their hands and carefully put it into their mouths.

For a moment, the whole venue was filled with light and fragrance.

The white-haired old woman, Meng Po, who was sitting in the first row, brought the Bodhi Dao Fruit to her mouth. It lit up with a colorful light that was no different from the others. However, she did not swallow the Dao Fruit. Instead, she quietly put it away.

Behind her, Yu Menghan's action was exactly the same as Han's. She also put the Fruit of Dao away, but didn't eat it.

She was still thinking that if they could meet again one day, she would give this Bodhi Fruit of Dao to him as a reunion gift.

Hopefully, that day will come …

The Reincarnation Daolord picked up the Bodhi Dao Fruit and examined it carefully for a moment before he sneered and clenched his fist. The Dao Fruit transformed into a streak of light and dispersed before he swept it up and put it back into his sleeve.

Time Ancestor raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw this, but she didn't show any displeasure.

When everyone's Fruit of Dao had entered their stomachs, the sound of bells rang out around the Jade Lake. The sound reverberated throughout the venue, mixed with some heavenly music.

Ripples appeared on the surface of the Clear Lake, and the huge ancient locust tree behind the lake swayed slowly. The locust leaves danced in the wind and scattered across the venue. The green color gradually faded, and the leaves turned into crystal clear leaves.

Many cultivators in the venue seemed to sense something at this moment. They sat down cross-legged and slowly closed their eyes. They began to meditate and adjust their breathing.
